The Virgin and the Gypsy

From Spectral Mornings1979

Written by Steve Hackett

Produced by John Acock, Steve Hackett

Lyrics

The Virgin and the Gypsy

A gypsy compliment for (kneel down) The scent of tyranny's daughter (we are found) At seventeen were bled in wild cream Passing milk thistle by Fox on the run Old ragged robin flies Virtue undone A garland of green flowers (field of lime) Surround a silver smoke tree (yours and mine) Sweet marigold, not easy to find Passing milk thistle by Fox on the run Old ragged robin flies Virtue undone
